Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignancy arising from cholangiocytes.Currently, the treatment and prognosis for CCA are mostly poor.Recently, we have reported that coiled-coil domain containing 25 (CCDC25) protein level in the sera may be a diagnostic marker for CCA.Subsequently, we identified three binding proteins of CCDC25 and found that kallikr
A Paintable Small-Molecule Hydrogel with Antimicrobial and ROS Scavenging Activities for Burn Wound Healing
Delayed wound healing induced by bacterial infection and a persistent inflammatory response remains a great clinical challenge.Herein, we reported a paintable, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory Nap-F3K-CA (Nap-Phe-Phe-Phe-Lys-Caffeic Acid) hydrogel for burn wound management based on caffeic acid (CA)-functionalized short peptides (Nap-Phe-Phe-P
Highly divergent 16S rRNA sequences in ribosomal operons of Scytonema hyalinum (Cyanobacteria).
A highly divergent 16S rRNA gene was found in one of the five Key Chains ribosomal operons present in a species complex currently circumscribed as Scytonema hyalinum (Nostocales, Cyanobacteria) using clone libraries.If 16S rRNA sequence macroheterogeneity among ribosomal operons due to insertions, deletions or truncation is excluded, the sequence h
Quality indicators in subtropical soils of Formosa, Argentina: Changes for agriculturization process
The agriculturization process has been defined as the advance of annual crops in different environments, in competition with traditional land uses such as agriculture rotations with pastures.In Argentina and other countries agriculturization has different degrees of impact on natural resources.In the northeast region of the province of Formosa, Arg
